I will not go backward, tho’ my face were still towards the foeman as I moved.

Scott I is a prince of Scythia by his lineal descent from the four royal Gaelic ancestries derived from Breogán.

This Iberian king carried on the lineage of ancestors whom traveled through the Mediterranean Sea, Egypt, the Aegean Sea, Greece, and the Black Sea from their sojourning in the Caucasus Mountains upon having left the region Mesopotamia near the Euphrates River.

From Cantabria, near the head of the Ebro River, these Scythians left again to establish themselves in Hibernia.

From Breogán came Bilé and Íth, whom sired Gollamh and Lugaid, respectively; Éber, Ir, and Érimón were the sons of Gollamh as three of the royal lines, and a fourth added by the Lugaid, all whose descendants were kings.

These warrior-princes are the forefathers of all Gaels and Scots, and by whom Scott is a rídhamhna (royal heir) being descended from these people many times over.
